Take a Moment

Take a moment
Lower your weapon
Take a look around
Measure the damage
Strewn upon the ground

Take a moment
Close your eyes
Breathe in, breathe out

Feel the world turn

Past your fear and doubt

Take a moment

Raise a glass in praise

For those we left behind

We’ve come this far
Keep that thought in mind

Share a moment
Share a smile with someone new

Ask someone for their forgiveness

Find someone and offer them yours
Reach out your hand in kindness

Take a moment

Pick up your weapon

Scan the far horizon
Steele up your resolve

And pick a new direction

Ring Out Solstice Bells

Now is the solstice of the year
Winter is the glad song that you hear
Seven maids move in seven time
Have the lads up ready in a line

Ring out these bells
Ring out, ring solstice bells
Ring solstice bells

Join together 'neath the mistletoe,
By the holy oak whereon it grows
Seven druids dance in seven time
Sing the song the bells call, loudly chiming

Ring out these bells
Ring out, ring solstice bells
Ring solstice bells

Praise be to the distant sister sun,
Joyful as the silver planets run
Seven maids move in seven time
Sing the song the bells call, loudly chiming

Ring out these bells
Ring out, ring solstice bells
Ring solstice bells
Ring on, ring out
Ring on, ring out

- Ian Anderson

"Mad Season" - Rob Thomas

I feel stupid - but I know it wont last for long

I’ve been guessing - I coulda been guessin’ wrong

You don’t know me now

I kinda thought that you should somehow

Does that whole mad season got ya down

I feel stupid but its something that comes and goes

I’ve been changin’ - think its funny how now one knows

We don’t talk about - the little things that we do without

When that whole mad season comes around

So why ya gotta stand there

Looking like the answer now

It seems to me - you’d come around

I need you now

Do you think you can cope

You figured me out – I’m lost and I’m hopeless

Bleeding and broken - though I’ve never spoken

I come undone - in this mad season

I feel stupid - but I think I been catching on

I feel ugly - but I know I still turn you on

You seem colder now, torn apart, angry, turned around

Will that whole mad season knock you down

So are you gonna stand there

Are you gonna help me out

You need to be together now - I need you now

Do you think you can cope

You figured me out - I’m lost and I’m hopeless

Bleeding and broken - though I’ve never spoken

I come undone - in this mad season

Now I’m cryin’ - isn’t that what you want

I’m tryin’ to live my life on my own

But I wont

At times - I do believe I am strong

So someone tell me why, why, why

Do I, I, I feel stupid

And I came undone

And I came undone

I need you now

Do you think you can cope

You figured me out - I’m lost and I’m hopeless

Bleeding and broken - though I’ve never spoken

I need you now

Do you think you can cope

You figured me out - I’m a child and I’m hopeless

Bleeding and broken - though I’ve never spoken

I come undone - in this mad season

In this mad season

There’s been a mad season

Been a mad season

Here is the site for the new project Gina is working on.
It looks really exciting and there may even be a small part for me in the future and I should be filming next year.

The Mind Machine Project aims to reinvent AI for a new era.

This is a really good look at a very exciting project. If even a fraction of what they are working on bears fruit it will mean new tools available to solve the remaining problems in a very short time.
